March 2008

PSCA is getting started on the redevelopment plan for 9th Street from Washington Avenue to Wharton Street. With a grant from the City’s NTI office, we have hired Interface Studio/Econsult to complete this study. They will begin with stakeholder interviews and an analysis of the existing conditions. Expect to see them at a General Meeting in the next few months to explain the process and their findings.

The final plan will help the neighborhood envision a vibrant Lower Italian Market with a strong mix of commercial and residential spaces.

Master Plan for Washington Avenue

In Spring 2006, the Passyunk Square Civic Association was the client to UPenn Master’s students as they helped us re-imagine Washington Avenue – a people friendly Washington Avenue!
